Actually, you are wrong.
Windows has been supporting IPP since (at least) Windows 2000.
I have a entire Windows network where all printing is done using
IPP (and thus port 631). Works like a charm.
But, if you are using SMB Printing, then you are correct, it
won't use port 631.
Windows actually supports various printing protocols, including
SMB, IPP, LPR, HP TCP/IP (JetDirect) along others.
